    Who's upsampling - the app or the DAP?

    Recently I downloaded and installed the Amazon Music app on my iBasso DX160. I have regular/Prime access, NOT the Ultra HD subscription. I’m ok streaming mp3s for exploration purposes - if I really like something I’ll buy the lossless version from the Qobuz shop. :) I’m sending digital coax...

    Gray market headphones?

    Hi all! In September I bought a pair of Focal Elgias from Focal's "authorized USA distributor," Audio Advice. I will admit that I paid $900, which is what they still go for there. I have noticed that Amazon's current price is $580. Am I a chump or what? I also have an interest in the Klipsch...

    Alternative to Drop X MrSpeakers Ether CX

    Hi everyone, I have come to the conclusion that my Ethers are just not for me and I'm ready to sell them. So I'm in the market for a new set of closed backs in the $1000 range. The problem with the Ethers was that I just found them boring and dull - Josh Valour on YouTube said they were...

    SMSL SU-8 acting weird with digital coax input

    Hey all, My SU-8 sounds lovely - I've had it for a couple of weeks - but today presented a connectivity hurdle. I wanted to output my FiiO's digital coax signal to my Mimby and my SU-8 simultaneously, so I bought a coax splitter from Radio Shack: and some coax cables and F-connecter to RCA...

    What do you do while listening to music?

    For listening on speakers, I am at the computer surfing the web, pedaling my recumbent bike, or sorting/folding/hanging up laundry. When I'm plugged into my headphones, I do crossword puzzles (the pencil and paper kind) or play puzzle apps (mostly Two Dots) on my tablet. Rarely, when I can't...

    Balanced, multibit, both, or neither?

    Hi all! I'm considering taking my sound to the next level. In particular, I want to get the most out of my new MrSpeakers Ether CX phones. I sense that they may have a lot more potential than I've heard so far. So far, things have been quite good with single-ended amps and the delta-sigma DACs...
